The galaxy had changed so quickly. Everything they had ever known about it had suddenly been turned on its head in a matter of days. The Jedi were no more, the Republic was now the Empire, and someone they both dearly loved was gone. But now they were fugitives, on the run from the very entity they had sworn to protect and preserve.
After the events on Mustafar, with Padme giving birth to twins, they had taken refuge on Alderaan under Bail Organa's protection. Their shared friend had issued reports of their deaths to help hide them from their pursuers. After Padme had time to rest and heal, they needed to go into hiding. They were issued new identities, given a small worn down ship, and supplies to last them for some time. In what had been a whirlwind of events, they eventually found themselves on the remote planet of Lah'Mu in the Outer Rim.
Kenobi was a common name, and rather unsuspecting despite the fact that there was a Jedi with it on top of the wanted fugitives list. Obi-Wan had decided to change his first name to Ben, an old code name he had used once or twice. While a single man with the name might stand out among records, one with a wife and two children would not be so easily noticed. Especially when they appeared to be an ordinary young family who were joining a group of settlers.
With Bail covering their tracks, they plunged into their new life. Acquiring an out of the way plot of land outside of a small settlement. A run down house already stood there, having been abandoned by previous owners who had decided this life wasn't for them.
Only a few days into having arrived, before they could fully get settled, a storm had proved that the structure wasn't as sturdy as they hoped. Thus the next day found Obi-Wan on the roof. The former Jedi Master of renown banging away as he tore off old roof slats and replaced them. He knew this would have to be done sooner or later, but it proved to be sooner as the leaks had been significant. He was not used to this sort of work, he had been a Jedi and a General in a war after all, but he would have to. This was their life now. He was just an ordinary man with an ordinary family living an ordinary life.
